last night. as that part of the span came down, a couple of trucks came down with it. three people were thrown into the water, all rescued and taken to safety, including dan. >> when i felt the water rushing in and i kind of came back to situational awareness, looking around, when you looked at all the carnage of the metal and stuff around you, i assumed that was it at that point. there was no hope. that's what i was thinking. but here i stand. thank god. >> reporter: authorities here in washington state are interviewing that truckdriver they believe is responsible for this collapse. washington's governor is warning people this morning that the delays and detours could last well past the memorial day weekend. i'm chris daniels reporting in burlington washington sht for nbc news. >> back here in the bay area, new video just into our newsroom. take a look at this. a pickup truck ended up in someone's backyard. this is happening in livermore.

positive grades, they are going to want to attain that. again, i think it's a win-win for the public. >> the advisory group meets again next month to look at specific scoring systems that may work for silicon valley. ultimately the board of supervisors will decide whether to approve a grading system. still to come, the bay area's newest millionaire. what the san jose city college student plans to do with the $2 million prize he won from last week's powerball drawing. >> reporter: good morning, i'm bob redell, live with a very small but bright future of satellite technology. that story coming up. obama care comes to california with a surprising price tag. we'll take a look coming up in business news. and all that sunshine we have out there for you this friday, it's free, but we've got major changes headed our way. showers on memorial day. i'll time out that system to your doorstep when we come right back on nbc bay area.

welcome back. nasa's administrator is on the peninsula getting a firsthand look at what the agencies ames research has to offer. bob redell joins us live from moffett field with a look at the high-tech stuff they have going on there. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, marla. we're at one of the buildings where a scientist just gave a tour. they are showing this brand-new lab. i say brand-new, only three months old and only opened up here. it's a lab where they build nanosatellites. when i'm talking about nanosatellites, this right here is called a chip, they will be launching these in the fall. costs $25 bucks to make. on this obviously you've got the solar sun that powers it.

it's got a computer, semaybe ev a microwave oven. they are only $25 bucks, low cost and it will be up in the atmosphere taking measurements. this is a long way from 10 years ago when it would have been the size of a refrigerator. see how much the law is taking effect here. one thing unique, using newer technology to create things. 3d printer here to make cubes. getting these type of shapes. matt reyez with the lab, i'm just curious, this is where we're at. where are we going to be eventually? >> this is -- the current state of technology is this plastic material. this is just one method of manufacturing we have here at the center. i think what we'll do is we'll

see these machines advance so astronauts can manufacture things in space but we'll start with the designs in this shop. >> that is the satellite or the box for the satellite. >> exact shape, a cube sat. a one-inch cube sat. this is a replica, considered a test model to fit other kinds of payload or sensors or anything you would want to use in space. >> walk over here. talk about putting 3d printers in space. a prototype of a 3d printer right here. it's this silver box right here, martinez. they are talking about putting this stuff up on the space station. they could actually recycle plastic on the space station. i don't know if they have an old toothbrush or plastic bag with turnout, create different parts like this. sometimes in space you need to fix things. they can replace parts in space. they can design them in space. i don't know if instead of using

duct tape they could find plastic. did i explain that properly? over here there are some other satellites. these are nanosatellites, nanophone sats. off the shelf parts. >> these would be the real -- the traditional metal version of cube sats. in this one you can see nasa installed a cell phone. that's an old nexus one touchscreen smartphone that has all the computer components and sensors to be able to control this satellite inflight in space. another novel thing you'll see, you're able to communicate with this using an antenna and measuring tape. >> some photos up here taking by phone sats. i guess what i'm getting at, you know we have big satellites up there now, tv we broadcast flat transmissions, do you see a day it will be like this? >> if you imagine the larger satellites are costly, heavy to launch, have a lot of electronics to build, these small cube sats, you can launch

very many usingocity shelf components at low prices and many at once, so you can reduce the cost of operating in space dramatically. that's our big focus here, reduce the cost to the taxpayer. >> start next month, marla, send your own satellite in space and have a camera watching you and your home, your own private security system. it only costs $10,000. >> that's great. >> everyone has got a smartphone, someday everyone will have a satellite. i'm just predicting the future. that would that will probably be right after robots take over. >> these here, before the robots take over will be a better monitor the climate and upper atmosphere a lot better. these smaller satellites are super cheap and you can distribute a lot. it's a highly capable device. >> thanks, matt. appreciate it these guys, they are launching in the fall on a rocket. >> very cool. as i say, big things come in

small packages. interesting things, bob. the state of california just became the first to set up a health care system under the so-called obama care rules. there's a big surprise, health care is going to be far cheaper than most experts expected. scott mcgrew said it's a huge boost for the president's plan. >> reporter: good morning. there has been all kind of talk about how expensive obama care will be. here we are the largest and most expensive state in the u.s. and looks like it will be okay. health care insurance was ridiculously complicated. the bottom line, california making very little money, say 150% of the poverty line, someone who didn't get health care from his or her employer would pay as little as $44 a month for the so-called silver plan of the federal mandated health care. more than 4 million californians have no health insurance

whatsoever. your takeaway, obama care is not as costly as the most neutral of experts said it would be. i wanted to call your attention to this. it's an event in san francisco. an open house, a tech shop on saturday on howard near the moscone center. you can walk through and see the devices. tech shop is sort of like a gym for makers. you've got welding, $10,000, $50,000, $100,000 machines that you're free to use with a membership just like the gym. san jose and menlo park have locations. those locations will be open later. san francisco this saturday, stop by, it's very cool. >> the makers gym, thanks. the san jose man who won $2 million in the latest powerball drawing is talking about his newfound wealth. look at him, 22-year-old michael garcia is a student at san jose city college. he went to the 7-eleven.

when he figured out he matched five out of six, he wasn't sure how much it was worth. >> me and my brother went there. we scanned it. it was $2.3 million. oh, wow. i'm still going to work hard. instead of getting my bs and cs i was getting because i was working full time and going to school straight time, i'll get straight as, because i won't have to work. >> he says he won't go on a big spending spree. he's going to buy his mom a new car and help friends pay for college. a people want to get outdoors, we made it to friday, that's good enough. a live look, san francisco, the bay, a little bit choppy. that flag getting quite a bit of pickup. we salute all the men and women that served this great country and we remember them as well. we have showers headed our way
